At last the civil war in Sudan is getting some long overdue coverage from the mass media. The Biden and Trump presidencies have both been accomplices in the lack of interest and effort to end the war. Meanwhile, thousands have been brutally killed and millions of Sudanese in Darfur (remember the starvation there a few […]

No, Republicans aren’t committed to bipartisanship | Letter
I noticed a couple of recent opinion pieces making false claims about the Republicans’ efforts toward bipartisan legislation. When Joe Biden asked all politicians to stand against violence in politics, not one Republican stood up. In 2006, George W. Bush wanted to make a deal on immigration, Mitch McConnell said “no,” it would help the […]

Heuston Burying Ground and Francis and Mehitable Heuston Park are two distinct places | Letter
The Oct. 31 edition of the Times Record carried the article “How those in bondage found their freedom in the Midcoast,” by Lori-Suzanne Dell. Unfortunately, it wrongly states that 230 acres “around” Heuston Burying Ground have been preserved as a portion of “Francis and Mehitable Heuston Park.” The two places are not one and the […]

Sen. King missed the point | Letter
Sen. Angus King thinks it’s a good idea to capitulate and pay the ransom note, rather than to stand up against the bully who is trying to take health care tax credits and food benefits away from thousands of Mainers. He’s had 10 months of examples of what giving in to a bully does for […]

Sen. King’s shutdown capitulation is infuriating | Letter
Sen. Angus King’s comments, as reported in this paper, only added to the steam coming out of my ears after the recent capitulation by seven Democrats and Sen. King, an independent, to the Republicans’ mean-spirited agenda. Sen. King justified his vote to undermine a unified Democratic Party strategy to leverage support of the Republican budget […]

A troubling double standard for the presidency | Letter
I have been puzzled by something ever since the first presidential debate of the 2024 election, late in the summer. President Biden did an awful job during the debate and afterward pundits, newscasters and journalists daily questioned his mental decline, age and ability to lead the country. During the campaign and up to now, President […]

Photographer Gregory Rec’s work continues to impress | Letter
Referring to the image “Crowing in Circles,” in the local and state section, on Thursday, Nov. 6, — kudos to photographer Gregory Rec. He’s been with the paper a long time and he never disappoints. Elizabeth KolodinPemaquid Harbor

Authoritarianism in the U.S. is alarming, not surprising | Letter
This country’s descent into authoritarianism was inevitable. Both major parties have treated blue-collar workers in this country as second-class citizens for over 50 years, giving them nothing but lip service as their incomes declined to a fraction of what they were. Many of them feel angry and powerless and for good reason. As a result, many […]
